Looks ok to me
Boy that sure sounds like it is full of smartitude.
People write sentences like that when they can’t actually say anything smart, so they use smart-sounding sentences, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Re: The selection from Michele Obama’s thesis quoted:
If Princeton is like most schools, the Mooch had to have some kind of faculty advisor to supervise her thesis, and that person had to approve it. I can understand MO taking advantage of the situation - she’s been doing that all her life, from her cushy job at the U of Chicago Med School to her 8 years in the lap of luxury at taxpayer’s expense. What’s harder to understand is an Ivy League prof signing off on an embarrassment like that thesis - it should’ve been blue-lined and bounced back to it’s source as many times as it took until it reflected at least some reasonable degree of literacy.
